Joseph's Studio La Posada Statue

The La Posada statue represents the search for shelter by Joseph and Mary when they went to Bethlehem for the census. Spanish for "lodging" or "accommodations", this statue shows a very pregnant Mary riding the donkey which Joseph leads as they look for a place to spend the night. The La Posada statue is from the famed Joseph Studios where the statue is made of a resin and stone mix, finely detailed and deeply colored giving the statue its unique beauty. You can almost feel how weary the travelers are by looking at the detail present in their faces. This beautiful La Posada statue measures 10 inches high so does not need a lot of room to be proudly displayed on a table or shelf. The Posada or journey for shelter is acted out by children during the holiday season as they go from door to door in their neighborhood asking for accommodations for the Holy Family and being turned away until they finally come to a designated home where a party is given and the children with the Holy Family are accepted. This beautiful La Posada statue will be a beautiful addition to your holiday decorations and a statue you will enjoy displaying for years to come. The La Posada statue comes boxed for ease in storage or gift giving.
